Our program has a zero tolerance policy for alcohol; our clients are not to have any alcohol at all. Should a client be discharged for an alcohol level of .008% BAC?
• A reading of .008% BAC on any instrument might be difficult to defend. If the test was conducted on an instrument using a fuel cell sensor, a .008 reading would raise a strong suspicion of the presence of alcohol. Fuel cells are specific for alcohol and are capable of low readings. However, historically breath alcohol test results have been reported only to the hundredth (.01) of a percent. Law enforcement agencies, for example, report only the first two digits of results; any reading below .010, such as .008, would be treated as zero.
